[tbonequeen13]

Hello ladies! I think the general consensus was that you all would like to keep the check-in but change up the questions, so I have tried to do that. If there's one you all don't like or one you want to add, please let me know!


How far along are you?

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby?

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?

Any updates/news from last week?

QOTW: What would your dream job be?

[tbonequeen13]

How far along are you? 24 weeks

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? We are moving DD1 to a big girl bed set that used to be mine, so we have to get it from my parents' house and bring it to ours this weekend. Then we can move the crib set into DD2's room

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?I got to see DD2 on the ultrasound for about 45 mins yesterday while they did the follow-up anatomy scan and fetal echo...I even got to see a 3d image of her face although they couldn't get a good enough angle to print

Any updates/news from last week? Anatomy scan went great and last month is my last monthly appt (then we go to twice a month!)

QOTW: What would your dream job be? I'd love to be a travel agent for Disney! I LOVE planning our trips and I think doing it all day for other people would be fun.

Thanks for the check-in, tbonequeen13! It must have been fun watching LO wiggle around for 45 minutes

How far along are you? 15w6d

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Not much honestly. We're doing some home remodeling to prepare for J's move to a big girl room. FX it's done and we can get her ready this weekend. Other than that, we won't do much for some time.

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? Does reduced nausea and bloat count? LOL

Any updates/news from last week? Nope

QOTW: A luxury resort tester. I knew someone who worked for a 5-star resort chain and her job was to travel 6 or 7 times a year to their new hotels and resorts to 'test' them as a guest. All expenses paid for weeks at a time?! Yes, please!

[tbonequeen13]

oldbaylover1024, ok..i change my answer..i want to do that for a job too, lol!

How far along are you? 32w3d

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby? Nothing really. We do have maternity pictures scheduled for Sunday evening.

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)? I really enjoy not ever having to "suck in". Also, I feel like I can get away with wearing clothes I couldn't normally (this is mostly pertaining to work, as I am currently wearing maternity yoga capris and they aren't technically allowed but no one will say that to me).

Any updates/news from last week? I didn't check in last week - but I did get word last week from my OB that he will be inducing me again at 39 weeks. I am happy to have one less week to count down to!

QOTW: What would your dream job be? Anything where I get to travel for free, but I also really enjoy event planning - probably weddings, more specifically.

ksyknelvr73, i've been living in maternity yoga capis too....luckily, i got them in black and they look enough like dress capris that i don't think anyone has noticed

How far along are you?

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby?
My ILs just came by to drop the bassinet my FIL made for the grandkids. Its a new family tradition, all the grandkids are going to be using it I will post some pictures, it looks really amazing!! So now I just need to wash the mattress cover and ask my mom to make sheets.

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
I'm gonna get to see my boy soon!!!

Any updates/news from last week?
Had an unespected US today and found out that Im going to be having one every week.
Baby is doing great.
My mom arrives tomorrow!!!!



QOTW: What would your dream job be?
If I was brave enough, I would love to be a Vet. I love animals but can't see them hurt...

[frenchteachermama]

tbonequeen13, thanks so much for taking over for me! And love the new questions!

How far along are you?
37W6D

What are you doing this week to prepare for baby?
We only have a few little things left to do...clean out our linen closet to make room for baby towels and other stuff, put up her monogram over her crib, and make sure we can find the top part of our pack n play. DH is on call this weekend (he's a GI doc) but he has a very nice TO-DO list that had better get done!

What is your current pregnancy joy (other than being pregnant)?
I'm feel so blessed to still be feeling so good, I've been able to spend some really fun and important quality time with DD1 and DD2. They are 8 and 5.5 and I don't think they realize how much life is going to change. I've been really emotional about that recently. This week we had "meet the teacher" days and it was fun to meet their teachers and tell them that in a little over a week there would be a new addition to our family.

Any updates/news from last week?
My doctor checked me on Wednesday. My cervix is thin but I am not dilated so she thinks I will make it to 9/12 (my scheduled c-section date). I'm actually looking forward to one last week with the girls in school!!

QOTW: What would your dream job be?
I was an inner city high school French teacher for 12 years before leaving the classroom to pursue my PhD. I miss teaching to much. My dream job would be to find a part-time K-12 job and still be able to work on my PhD.

[tbonequeen13]

fionnathehuman, i love unexpected ultrasounds when they have good results! I'm high risk (Type II) so I'll get weekly ultrasounds at the end too, like I did with DD1...one of the only pluses of being high risk, lol

frenchteachermama, you just reminded me we need to find the top part of our pack and play too...we've moved since we used it last so there's no telling where it is...
